Gentlemen,
The Colorado Avalanche are open to discussing trade possibilities with the following players. Obviously, others could be available for the right price and fit but players with a NTC will not be discussed. Any others, feel free to ask/make an offer and perhaps we go from there.
What we're looking for is bottom six depth on the pro roster, picks, prospects, cash or any combination of the above for most on the list below.
CAM TALBOT, G
Looking for a starting goalie? Look no further than one of the quickest developing goalies in the NHL. In just one season as a starter in Edmonton, Talbot took the starting role and ran with it to post a .917 save percentage and 2.55 GAA. I'm confident he will perform even better next season with an improved defence in front of him in Edmonton and the confidence he can start for a team. He's still eligible for PDPs and could be an excellent NHL rerate candidate next season. No tire kickers, please. He deserves a starting opportunity if traded and my preference is finding him that opportunity if he is traded.
MICHAEL HUTCHINSON, G
In two full seasons in Winnipeg, Hutch has proven himself a very viable backup and shown glimpses of starting potential along the way. He's still very young and signed for two seasons with the Jets, so he will get the opportunity to play whether he remains in Winnipeg or is moved at the NHL deadline. He needs an NHL rerate and would make a tremendous backup in the NsHL next season.
RADKO GUDAS, D
Looking for a nasty, stay at home defenceman? Look no further! Gudas is the guy who knocked a 40+ year old Teemu Selanne on his ass a few years back, proving he doesn't care who he plays, he's going to knock the snot out of you! Check out his stats, he's a huge plus-minus differential guy at every level so far and that will happen in Philadelphia too. If you watched the playoffs, you saw him out there in the final minutes of every game. Oh, and there's this quote from Steve Mason about a goal he scored from center ice this season: "He's got the hardest shot I've ever faced. [Michal Neuvirth] and I have asked him to take a little off his shots in practise because it hurts when it hits you. Heavy, fast, hard [shot]. It just hits you with a thud. That's why we've asked him to take a little off in practice, because he can break your hand pretty easy."
BRANDON DAVIDSON, D
A very dependable defensive defenceman on the farm with potential. He played 51 games with the Oilers last season and led the team in plus-minus with a +7. While that seems low, compare that number to his teammates: Sekera -15, Klefbom -4, Nurse -13, Fayne -6.
BRANDON PRUST, W/C
He has one year remaining on a team friendly contract and is the ideal PK/4th line/energy player you could want. He has 81 CK, 65 FG and 74 DF and was a valuable part of my team's penalty kill through most of the year.
JOSH JOORIS, RW/C
He had a down year with the Flames this year but had a rookie campaign with 24 points in 60 games a year ago. He has size and playmaking skill. He needs a better situation to hone his skills and I'm welcome to offering him an opportunity where he could get it.
SCOTT TIMMINS, C
An unbelievable soldier on the farm, he's a definite 4th line pro on most teams. He put up big numbers on the farm and I am open to giving him a fresh start somewhere that he'd get that 4th line opportunity.
JOE CANNATA, G
Need a starting goalie for your farm team? Cannata was one of the best last season in the AsHL and will be even better after his rerate. He played in the AsHL all-star game and would be an excellent stop gap for any team waiting on a prospect goalie.
